Theft Protection
Your car's audio system will disable
itself
if it is disconnected from
electrical power for any reason. To
make it work again, the user must
enter a specific five-digit code in the
Preset buttons. Because there are
hundreds of number combinations
possible from five digits, making the
system work without knowing the
exact code is nearly impossible.
You should have received a card that
lists your audio system's code
number and serial number.
It is best
to store this card
in a safe place at
horne.
In addition, you should write
the audio system's serial number
in
this Owner's Manual. If you should
happen to lose
the card, you must
obtain the code number from your
Honda dealer. To do this, you
will
need the system's serial number.
If your car's battery is disconnected
or goes dead, or the radio fuse is
removed,
the audio system will
disable itself. If this happens, you
will see "Code" in the frequency
display the next time you turn on the
system.
Use the Preset buttons to
enter the five-digit code.
If it is
entered correctly, the radio
will start
playing.
If you make a mistake entering the
code,
do not start over or try to
correct your mistake. Complete the
five-digit sequence, then enter the
correct code.
You have ten tries to
enter the correct code.
If you are
unsuccessful
in ten attempts, you
must then leave the system on for
one hour before trying again.
Audio System
You will have to store your favorite
stations
in the Preset buttons after
the system begins working. Your
original settings were lost when
power was disconnected.

Accessories and Modifications
Modifying your car, or installing
some non-Honda accessories, can
make your car unsafe. Before you
make any modifications or add any
accessories, be sure to read the
following information.
Accessories
Your dealer has Genuine Honda
accessories that allow you to
personalize your car.
These
accessories have been designed and
approved for your car, and are
covered by warranty.
Non-Honda accessories are usually
designed for universal applications.
Although aftermarket accessories
may fit on your car, they may not
meet factory specifications, and
could adversely affect your car's
handling and stability. (See
"Modifications" on the page 123 for
additional information.)
122 Before Driving
Improper accessories or
modifications can affect your
car's
handling, stability and
performance, and cause a
crash
in which you can be hurt
or
killed.
Follow all
instructions in this
owner's
manual regarding
accessories and modifications.
When properly installed, cellular
phones, alarms, two-way radios, and
low-powered audio systems should
not interfere with your car's
computer-controlled systems, such
as the
SRS and anti-lock brake
system. However,
if electronic
accessories
are improperly installed, or exceed
your car's electrical system capacity,
they can interfere with the operation
of your car, or even cause the
airbags to deploy.
Before installing any accessory:
• Make sure the accessory does not
obscure any lights,
or interfere
with proper car operation or
performance.
• Be sure electronic accessories do
not overload electrical circuits
(see page 231).
• Have the installer contact your
Honda dealer for assistance before
installing any electronic accessory.
If possible, have your dealer inspect
the final installation.

If your car's battery is disconnected
or goes dead, the audio system will
disable itself. The next time you turn
on the radio you
will see "Code" in
the frequency display. Use the
Preset buttons to enter the five-digit
code (see page
113 ) .
I NOTICE
Charging the battery with the cables
connected can seriously damage your
car's electronic controls. Detach the
battery cables before connecting the
battery
to a charger.
Battery
Maintenance 179

This indicator should come on when
the ignition switch is
ON (II), and go
out after the engine starts.
If it
comes on brightly when the engine
is running, it indicates that the
charging system has stopped
charging the battery. Immediately
turn off
all electrical
accessories: radio, heater, A/C,
cruise control, etc.
Try not to use
other electrically-operated controls
such as
the power windows. Keep
the engine running and take extra
care not to stall
it. Starting the
engine
will discharge the battery
rapidly.
Charging System Indicator
By eliminating as much of the
electrical load as possible, you can
drive several miles (kilometers)
before
the battery is too discharged
to keep the engine running. Drive to
a service station or garage where
you can get technical assistance.
Taking Care of the Unexpected 227

4. Check the smaller fuses by pulling
out
the fuse with the fuse puller
provided in
the interior fuse box.
5. Look for a burned wire inside the
fuse.
If it is burned, replace it with
one of
the spare fuses of the same
rating or lower.
If you cannot drive the vehicle
without fixing the problem, and you
do not have a spare fuse, take a fuse
of the same rating or a lower rating
from one of
the other circuits. Make
sure you can do without that circuit
temporarily (such as the accessory
power socket
or radio).
Fuses
If you replace the blown fuse with a
spare fuse that
has a lower rating, it
might blow out again. This does not
indicate anything wrong. Replace the
fuse with one of the correct rating as
soon as you can.
NOTICE
Replacing a fuse with one that has a
higher rating greatly increases the
chances
of damaging the electrical
system.
If you do not have a replace­
ment
fuse with the proper rating for the
circuit, install one with a lower rating.
6. If the replacement fuse of the
same rating blows in a short time,
there is probably a serious
electrical problem in your car.
Leave
the blown fuse in that
circuit and have your car checked
by a qualified mechanic.
